EPTNews from Kespa President - Page 5
| Forum Index > BW General |
Stop being jerks to each other please. Stop talking about seperate TL sites, BW vs SC2, or which fan base is retarded/ignorant/elitist/old/constipated. Don't post in the thread unless you take the time to read the situation. Don't post in the thread to let others know that they should have been banned longer. Don't post in the thread to claim that kespa is the evil empire based on you reading the translated musing of a random Chinese blogger. Honestly people, this is common sense. I hate the fact that I have to moderate to the lowest common denominator. Make my job easier please. | ||

MLS (major league soccer) operates the same way, it seems. | ||

With this comes more sability. Which means we won't see teams break apart anytime soon. KeSPA now can control things better and keep teams sponsored, so that we never have anothe rmonth of waiting to see if these teams will get sponsored or not. Its easier to keep the teams funded and together this way. | ||

This ensures that if 1 sponsor backs out, a whole team doesn't have to disband as a result. It might also level of financial playing field between teams, by closing the gap in funds each team has available. Maybe it'll also mean that trading players between teams will be easier as well. I think it's a lot more likely that the current sponsors will all stay the same. It seems like their goal is that if a sponsor pulls out (e.g. MBC), the team is managed by KeSPA, so if a new sponsor comes along, they can just rename the team to CNN Hero or whatever and have all of the management details stay the same, just with a different income source. | ||

But as for the "5-6" companies, are they looking for 1 or 2 to pull through or are those companies all chipping in some--i.e. instead of something like "samsung khan" it'll have to be something like Intel-Kia Fingerboom (with 2 major sponsors, but managed by Kespa). | ||

Keep in mind, many teams have more than one sponsor, even if it's not in thier names. Flash doesn't wear a Pocari Sweat patch because he likes it, he wears it because they sponsor KT (and SKT too, incidentally). | ||

But this really can't be good for the long run / welfare of the players. Now, let's say someone like Bisu becomes free agent. Basically he can only get salary as kespa dictates it and not through supply and demand. If Kespa orders SKT to lower his salary for example to maintain profitability, nothing Bisu can do because other teams won't make counter offer since they are all under Kespa. This system will always disadvantage the players in the long run. Of course the alternative would be BW shrink and dies if Kespa doesn't step in and the players have no job anyway. But i really don't see things remaining this way in the long run. Unless i am misunderstanding something. Excited for the new teams though =) | ||

It will be easier for Kespa to manage, and players will be under the same management to preserve fairness, and as well as preventing match fixing and team disbanding. So, one organization controlling all of the teams... that seems like it would make the potential for match fixing much, much higher. It's a huge conflict of interest. | ||
